Royal Gold Increases Common Stock Dividend
5% to $0.92 per Share
DENVER, COLORADO.
NOVEMBER 10, 2015: ROYAL GOLD, INC. (NASDAQ: RGLD; TSX: RGL) (“Royal Gold” or the “Company”), today
announced that its Board of Directors increased the Company’s annual dividend for its shares of common stock from $0.88 to
$0.92 per share, payable on a quarterly basis of $0.23 per share. The newly declared dividend is 5% higher than the dividend paid
in calendar year 2015. Royal Gold has steadily increased its annual dividend every year since 2001.
The Board declared
the dividend of $0.23 per share will be payable on January 22, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on January
8, 2016.
Tony Jensen, President
and CEO, commented, “For 15 consecutive years, Royal Gold has increased its annual dividend. Our strong cash flow from operations
has allowed us to balance growth with return of capital at a time when others are reducing or eliminating dividends. We recently
completed four streaming transactions which we expect to strengthen our cash flow position even further as these new streams are
integrated into the portfolio.”

metals royalty and stream company engaged in the acquisition and management of precious metal royalties, streams, and similar
